Police say four officers on bike patrol stopped a man along a busy street northwest of downtown Baltimore. Officers say the man tried to run away as they approached, but they caught him a minute later about two blocks away. The man was taken by a van from the scene to the Western District station, after stopping once to put restraints on his legs and again to pick up a prisoner in a unrelated case. At the station, an ambulance was called to treat him and take him to the University of Maryland R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center.

CVS in Baltimore on Fire During Protests

During protests in Baltimore, in response to the death of Freddie Gray while in police custody last week, a CVS was on fire and being looted.

Freddie Gray's death was ruled a homicide and six police officers involved in his arrest were charged. The most serious charge, second-degree depraved heart murder, was brought against Officer Caesar Goodson Jr., 45, who drove the van that brought Gray to a police station. Other charges ranged from manslaughter to misconduct.

The Baltimore prosecutor, Marilyn Mosby, said that there was no probable cause for Gray's arrest. The knife he had in his pocket was not a switchblade and could be carried legally in Baltimore.

The Baltimore police union responded that none of the officers was responsible for Gray's death and asked Mosby to appoint a special prosecutor.
